Neuron Expedition For the Congo Crocodile

  • Expedition leader: herpetologist Václav Gvoždík
  • Congo
  • 2016

The aim of the expedition to Congo was to prove that the crocodile the team came across in its research is not the slender-snouted crocodile but an entirely new species. It differs both genetically and morphologically, yet its existence is not generally accepted so far. The expedition set out to gather field data that would support the validity of this overlooked crocodile species.
